The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link in sight
A new viewing platform offers an overview of the planned tunnel work area at Rødbyhavn
The long winding ramp is made to comply with accessibility for
the disabled. The cladding is fir wood.
The octagonal shape is created using a
custom-made truss construction.
The coastlines of Denmarks southern islands Møn, Falster and
Lolland are known hot spots for bird spotting and in particular for
watching the annual migration of millions of birds following the
same corridor every year traveling to warmer climates for the
winter.
This might have inspired the name "fugleflugtslinjen" (similar
to the expression "as the crow flies") for the traffic corridor
connecting Denmark and Germany by highway and ferry via Lolland. A
corridor that will be seriously updated with the new rail and road
tunnel.
The small viewing platform commissioned by Femern A/S is used
for information purposes and designed as an informal and inviting
platform for dialogue with the general public - of whom some might
even use it for bird watching.
